No age. No cask influence. Just the pure distillate – exactly as it left the copper pot stills at Thy Whisky Distillery. Destillat 1 is the beginning of everything.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Destillat 1 is a Danish New Make bottled at 40% in a 50 cl bottle. A raw spirit – unpeated, unaged distillate of certified organic barley, undiluted from the characteristic copper pot stills at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. New make is whisky's starting point: the distillate that is then filled into casks and over time becomes whisky. Tasting Destillat 1 is tasting the foundation for what Thy Whisky then builds upon.

For whisky enthusiasts, new make spirit is a unique window into the distillery's soul. Here there is no cask character, no age – only the pure taste of the distillate, the grain and the distillation process.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and green with malt sweetness, herbs and a touch of citrus. Purity is the key word.

Palate

Light and fresh with the grain's natural sweetness and soft texture. No heavy notes – just the distillate's true character.

Finish

Short and fresh with malt sweetness and a clean ending.

Did you know?

New make spirit – unaged distillate – is technically not whisky, as whisky by definition must have spent at least three years in a cask. Nevertheless it is an incredibly important part of understanding a distillery, as it reveals the raw spirit's character without the influence of casks.

Cask No. 292. One cask, one release. Thy Whisky Distillery Edition is the distillery's own single cask line – selected casks bottled directly and without compromise. This is it.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Distillery Edition Cask No. 292 is a Danish Organic Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 59.6% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled from certified organic barley at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland and bottled from a single cask – Cask No. 292. Distillery Edition designates the distillery's own line of single cask expressions: specially selected casks, bottled without dilution, without chill filtration and with natural colour.

59.6% is cask strength in the literal sense. It is the whisky as the cask made it. A little water opens it up and reveals a sweetness and depth that can otherwise hide behind the alcohol.

Tasting notes

Nose

Full-bodied and rich with vanilla sweetness, dried fruit and light oak bitterness. The intensity from cask strength is clear but not sharp.

Palate

Powerful malt with caramel, dried fruit, light pepper and good cask influence. Persistent and complex.

Finish

Long with oak, warm spice and a light sweetness. Striking and satisfying.

Did you know?

Thy Whisky's Distillery Edition series is one of the few single cask lines from a Danish distillery with certified organic production from field to cask. Everything is grown, malted and distilled within the distillery's own single estate concept.

Number 14 in the series. And it is beech-smoked. Thy Whisky No 14 Bøg is the strongest edition of the distillery's beech-smoked single malt – bottled at cask strength and free from chill filtration.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 14 Bøg is a Danish Organic Single Malt Whisky bottled at 57.4% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled from certified organic barley, malted and smoked with beech wood shavings in-house at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland. No 14 is the numbered edition of the Bøg expression – with a markedly higher ABV than Core Expressions Bøg (50%) and with a concentration that brings the natural softness of the beech smoke out even more clearly.

57.4% is high, but the beech smoke is soft. The result is a fascinating contrast: a powerful distillate with a smoke character that is far from sharp or searing. Add a little water to open it up fully.

Tasting notes

Nose

Intense beech smoke with honey, light nut and fresh forest in the background. Much more concentrated than Core Expressions Bøg.

Palate

Rich and warm with beech smoke, malt sweetness and light herbal character. Adding water reveals deeper fruit nuances.

Finish

Long with soft beech smoke and lingering warmth. Natural and harmonious.

Beech-smoked whisky is extremely rare globally. While thousands of distilleries use peat, Thy Whisky is one of very few places in the world that smokes with beech wood shavings as the primary smoke source – and No 14 is the strongest edition of this concept.

Kræn Kræmmer. A name, a character, a cask. Thy Whisky Fad no 6 Kræn Kræmmer is one of the named single cask expressions from the distillery – a series that tells stories through each individual cask.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Fad no 6 Kræn Kræmmer is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.4% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. Fad no 6 is the sixth cask in the distillery's named cask series, and "Kræn Kræmmer" is the character name associated with this specific cask. Thy Whisky names selected single casks after characters from north Jutland folklore and cultural life – a way of giving each cask an identity and narrative that extends beyond the cask number alone.

50.4% is a more approachable strength for a single cask release and lets the profile's nuances come through without requiring dilution. Fad no 6 Kræn Kræmmer is a single cask and is produced in a naturally limited number.

Two casks. Exactly half from each. Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY is an experiment in equality – cask 664 and cask 1036, combined in precisely equal proportion and bottled straight from the cask.

Expert description

Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY Danish Retailers Cask 664 + 1036 is a Danish Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky bottled at 59.3% in a 70 cl bottle.

Imperial. A name that carries history with it. Imperial barley is one of the oldest known malting barleys – and Thy Whisky has used it to distil a single malt that focuses specifically on the grain's identity.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Heritage Barley Imperial 2019 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 56% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled in 2019 and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. Imperial is a historic English malting barley variety with roots going back to the 19th century, which was once dominant in British beer and whisky production. Thy Whisky are pioneers in rediscovering these heritage barley varieties in Danish whisky – a series that includes KORNMOD, STOVT and Maltmod.

56% is a good strength for this type of heritage barley single malt – powerful enough to show the grain's character, but not excessive. A 2019 distillation provides a well-matured foundation.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with honey, light herbs and a richer, more substantial malt dimension than modern malting barley. The Imperial character is clearly present.

Palate

Full-bodied and grain-rich with sweet malt, light oak influence and a deeper, more substantial grain base than standard barley. Interesting and different.

Finish

Moderately long with clean malt sweetness and light oak warmth. Solid and satisfying.

Did you know?

Imperial barley was developed in England in the 1820s and was for a long time the dominant malting barley variety in Britain. With the industrialisation of agriculture it disappeared in favour of higher-yielding but flavourwise more neutral modern varieties. Today Imperial is grown primarily for specialist use – and Thy Whisky is one of the first distilleries in Scandinavia to use it for whisky.

STOVT. An old Danish word for large and powerful. And yes – it suits the grain at the heart of this whisky. Thy Whisky No 13 STOVT is built on a historic Danish grain variety that was dominant in north Jutland agriculture before modern varieties took over.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 13 STOVT is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 51% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. STOVT refers to a historic Danish barley variety, traditionally characterised as large and robust in its cultivation. In whisky the STOVT grain contributes a heavier, more flavourful grain character than standard malting barley.

Bottled in a 50 cl bottle at 51% – close to cask strength territory. No 13 is a numbered edition in Thy Whisky's series of experiments with local and historic grain varieties.

Tasting notes

Nose

Heavy and grain-rich with a little chocolate, light nut and a deep malt sweetness. More substantial than the standard Core Expressions.

REX. The King. Thy Whisky's No 16 is named after the Latin word for majesty – and not without reason. This whisky is the distillery's absolute flagship: the distillery's best cask, the distillery's highest ambition.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 16 REX is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. No 16 REX is the 16th expression in the distillery's numbered series and bears the designation REX as a signal that this is an exceptional release. The details of cask type and maturation period are closely tied to this specific single cask and reflect the distillery's most careful selection.

49.5% is an approachable strength that balances power and elegance. REX is not designed to overwhelm with alcohol – it is designed to surprise with complexity.

KORNMOD. It is about the grain – not just as a raw material, but as identity. Thy Whisky No 18 KORNMOD is made from a special and ancient Danish grain modification that carries far more character than modern malting barley.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 18 KORNMOD is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 47.3% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. KORNMOD refers to the use of a traditional Danish grain modification – a historic barley variety with roots in Nordic agricultural tradition. The distillery are pioneers in bringing these rare grain varieties back into whisky production and exploring what they contribute to the flavour profile.

47.3% is an approachable strength for a single malt with a complex starting point. KORNMOD speaks to the enthusiast and the historically interested whisky lover – a bottle that tastes different because the grain is different.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with light herbs, soft fruit and an earthy, almost grass-inspired freshness.

The KORNMOD barley variety is not used in commercial large-scale production. It requires hand malting and works best in small-batch distillation where its characteristics are not drowned out by industrial processes.

MALTMOD. Another of Thy Whisky's experiments with what grows in the north Jutland fields. No 20 Maltmod explores what a traditional Danish malt modification contributes when distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 20 Maltmod is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 53.4% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. MALTMOD refers to a Danish malt modification – a historic grain variety with a distinct enzymatic and flavour profile that differs from modern malting barley. The 20th number in Thy Whisky's numbered series.

53.4% places No 20 Maltmod as a middleweig ht: strong enough to carry its grain character, but not so high that it overwhelms. Bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with honey, light herbs and a softer, more rounded malt dimension than standard single malt.

Palate

Soft and malt-sweet with good fullness. The malt modification gives a slightly fresher and lighter grain character than STOVT or standard malt. Pleasant complexity.

Eight years. That is what it takes to get Thy Whisky's single malt to this point. No 24 is the distillery's oldest release in the core line – and the proof of what time and north Jutland climate can do to certified organic barley.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 24 – 8 years is a Danish Organic Single Malt Whisky bottled at 52.1% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy from certified organic single estate barley. No 24 refers to the serial number in the distillery's numbered release line. Eight years in a cask in a northwest Jutland climate gives a whisky with depth and complexity that places Thy Whisky No 24 in a class of its own within Danish whisky.

At 52.1% ABV, No 24 is bottled at a strength that lets the cask and distillate character express itself without excessive alcohol presence. A remarkable bottle for anyone who wants to understand what eight years does to the finest expressions from Thy.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich and mature with dried fruit, vanilla, honey and light oak bitterness. Eight years is clearly felt.

Oloroso. The dry, nutty sherry classic. Thy Whisky Oloroso Shared Cask No 442 is a Danish single malt finished in an Oloroso sherry cask and bottled directly from the cask without dilution.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Oloroso Shared Cask No 442 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 60.1% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. Oloroso is one of the classic dry sherry types with characteristic nutty aromas, oak and dark fruit. Cask No. 442 is a Shared Cask – bottled for a group of private co-cask owners.

The Oloroso cask and the north Jutland distillate meet in an interesting contrast: the distillate's fresh, malt-based character confronted with the sherry cask's dry, nutty depth. The result is a more complex and structured whisky than the distillery's un-cask-influenced expressions.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry and nutty with walnut, light chocolate, a little oak and a soft fruitiness in the background. The Oloroso character is clear.

Did you know?

Oloroso is one of the oldest and most well-known sherry types. The name means "fragrant" in Spanish, and Oloroso sherry oxidises during maturation – unlike Fino and Manzanilla, which mature under a protective layer of yeast. This gives the dry, nutty and complex character that whisky enthusiasts love in Oloroso casks.

The predecessor to the 2025 vintage. Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2024 is the same series – the same concept – but its own vintage batch with its unique sherry character and a different strength choice of 49.5%.

PX & Oloroso is an annual release – each year is a new batch with its own character. The 2024 vintage is bottled at a gentler strength than 2025 and with its own flavour profile.

49.5% is a gentle strength for a finished single malt and gives broader accessibility. Suits those who want the sweet/nutty sherry combination in a more subdued format.

Spelt and rye from the northwest Jutland fields. Thy Whisky Spelt Rye takes whisky in an unexpected direction – away from classic barley and into a grain world that suits the north Jutland climate best.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Spelt Rye Core Expressions is a Danish Organic Rye Whisky bottled at 48.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled from a blend of certified organic spelt and rye – both grown locally in Thy. Floor-malted and double distilled in-house. Spelt and rye give a markedly different flavour picture than a traditional barley single malt – more spiced, more earthy and with a complexity that surprises.

Spelt is an ancient grain with roots in north European agricultural tradition. In whisky it adds a nutty and slightly sweet dimension that complements the rye's natural spiciness.

Tasting notes

Nose

Spiced and lightly nutty with rye bread and a little citrus. More earthy than the standard Core Expressions.

Palate

Spiced rye core with spelt's nut sweetness. Light pepper and a touch of baked grain. Well balanced.

Finish

Moderate and spiced with malt sweetness and light warmth at the end.

Four islands. Four soils. The same seed — yet whisky with a different voice from each of them. That is the essence of Vindblæst Danish Island Whisky, Denmark's first island whisky, released in 2023 after years of quiet maturation in North Jutland.

Expert description

Vindblæst Whisky Søgaard Destilleri Limited Edition is Denmark's first island whisky — four versions of Danish Single Malt Whisky, bottled at 46.1%, available as a set of 4x20 cl bottles from Livø, Læsø, Egholm, and Fur respectively. The concept is built on a collaboration with farmers on four North Jutland islands, all growing the same variety — Odyssey, a malting barley specially suited for whisky production. The same grain, the same distillery, but four different terroirs that produce measurably different flavour profiles from island to island. The raw spirit is matured in used Jack Daniels bourbon oak casks on Livø before bottling. The whiskies are organic and unpeated. The first release took place on 10 June 2023 at Musikkens Hus in Aalborg, with 50 tasting judges from around the world. Søgaard Destilleri is part of Søgaards Bryghus in Aalborg, which began distillation in 2018 using equipment from German manufacturer CARL.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and fruity with sweet malt as a base. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon casks provide a classic roundness, alongside delicate floral notes and a hint of honey that varies subtly from island to island.

Palate

Smooth and well-balanced, with sweet malt and caramel notes leading. Fruity complexity — pear, apple, a touch of citrus — followed by gentle warming spice. The terroir differences show as nuances rather than contrasts.

Finish

Medium-long with lingering vanilla, light oak, and fresh grain. A clean and composed finish typical of bourbon-matured, unpeated single malt.

Søgaard Destilleri stored the first Vindblæst casks on the islands themselves — at the farms of the very farmers who grew the grain. The whisky from Livø matured literally in the same barn as the Odyssey barley it was made from.

Before the deep complexity of whisky emerges, there is a moment of pure, clear distillate. Vindblæst White Dog captures that moment — the raw spirit as it leaves the copper still, before casks have had any say.

Expert description

Vindblæst White Dog Søgaard Destilleri Limited Edition Danish Raw Spirit is a set of 4x5 cl unaged raw spirit from Søgaard Destilleri's Vindblæst production in Aalborg. Each small bottle reflects the terroir from one of the four North Jutland island partners — Livø, Læsø, Egholm, and Fur — all growing the organic malting barley variety Odyssey, which forms the basis of the Vindblæst whisky series. The raw spirit is clear and uncoloured, as it has not been cask-matured. It is unpeated, and the flavour reflects the pure distilled malt without any oak influence. A White Dog set offers a unique opportunity to understand the starting point of a whisky's journey — and to compare terroir influence at the raw spirit stage.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-forward with clear sweet malt from the Odyssey barley. Lightly floral with young herbal notes and a clean, clear spirit character — untouched by wood and time.

Palate

Sweet grain and fresh malt dominate. Clean and direct with gentle spice and a natural sweetness from the unaged barley distillate. Terroir differences from the four islands manifest as subtle variations in grain richness and freshness.

Finish

Short and fresh with clean malt and gentle grain warmth. No cask notes — pure and honest raw spirit as it is.

Did you know?

White Dog — or New Make — is the term for raw spirit that has never seen a cask. What you taste is the direct expression of raw material, yeast, and distillation — without any cask influence. Many whisky enthusiasts use White Dog to understand a distillery's craft in its purest form.

White Dog is the spirit in its purest form — before any cask has had its say. Everything you taste is the grain, the fermentation and the distiller. Here it is Mikkeller Black imperial stout, distilled at Braunstein.

Expert description

White Dog Mikkeller Spirits Small Batch is an unaged New Make Malt Spirit at 42%, distilled at Braunstein Distillery from Mikkeller Black, Mikkeller's powerful imperial stout. White Dog is the American term for unaged, new make spirit — the distillate before wood has had any influence. Here it is used deliberately: no cask maturation, no colour, no wood. Just a clean distillate from a complex beer base, giving a fascinating insight into what the spirit is before the cask takes over.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and clear with cereal aromas, light fruit tones and a soft malt sweetness. Clear fermentation character throughout.

Palate

Clean and direct. Malt, a light fruity sweetness and a suggestion of grain bread. No cask notes — everything is the distillate.

Finish

Short and clean. The malt lingers briefly and the alcohol has a gentle bite.

Did you know?

The term "White Dog" originates from the American bourbon tradition, where unaged spirit was historically sold illegally and called "white lightning" or "white dog." Today many distilleries use the term to release their raw, unaged distillate — it is essentially a taste of the whisky's future before the cask gets to work.

Not all whisky from Ærø is single cask. Small Batch No 1 takes a different approach — a selection of casks from the 2017 distillation, vatted and reduced to 43%. The result is a more approachable entry into the Ærø universe, but with the same genuinely local ingredients and the same malt floor.

Expert description

Ærø Whisky 2017 Single Malt Small Batch No 1 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 43%, bottled at 50 cl. It is the first small batch expression from Ærø Whisky A/S and marks a different direction from the distillery's single cask series. Ærø Whisky produces exclusively from locally grown barley from the island of Ærø, malted on the distillery's own malt floor and double-distilled in a closed circuit. The distillation dates from 2017, and the whisky is matured in oak casks — a combination of sherry casks and new oak. The small batch method means the contents are vatted from a selection of casks, producing a more consistent and accessible style than the cask strength expressions.

Tasting notes

Nose

Mild and inviting. Vanilla and light oak from the maturation, with dried fruit and a gentle sherry note in the background. The local malt gives a fresh, slightly nutty undertone.

Palate

Round and soft at 43%. Caramel and honey with dark fruit. The oak is present as structure, not dominance. Light spice towards the end.

Finish

Medium-length and warm. Light spice and dried fruit gradually retreat.

Medium. Ærø Whisky 2017 Small Batch No 1 is the first small batch expression from one of Denmark's most locally rooted micro-distilleries, produced in limited quantities. Inaugural expressions in a new series from a dedicated island distillery of this profile tend to attract collector attention over time.

Did you know?

Ærø Whisky is one of very few producers in the world that still malts barley on its own malt floor. It is a time-consuming and physically demanding process, but it gives the master maltster direct control over the drying degree and malt character that cannot be achieved with purchased malt.

In 2021 Ærø Whisky filled another cask. Cask No 6 from that season has now been bottled directly and undiluted at 60%. It is a young whisky — but it does not hide that, and does not need to. What it lacks in maturation it makes up for in intensity.

Expert description

Ærø 2021 Single Cask No 6 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 60%, bottled at 50 cl from a single cask distilled in 2021 at Ærø Whisky A/S in Ærøskøbing. It is the sixth single cask in the distillery's series, produced from locally grown barley from Ærø, malted on the distillery's own malt floor and double-distilled in a closed circuit. A cask strength release from the 2021 distillation offers a rare glimpse into what is happening in Ærø's casks before extended maturation. Uncompromising and direct — add water to unfold the flavour.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and powerful. Young malt and new oak dominate. Sweetness from the wood and a fresh, spirity undertone. With water, floral notes and light fruit open up.

Palate

Explosive at 60%. Oak and sweet malt with light fruit notes. Water is needed to unfold the full breadth. Young and raw but with clear structure.

Finish

Warm and long with dry oak and sweet malt that holds. A promise of what more maturation will do.

Ærø is a small island in the South Funen Archipelago. The distillery in Ærøskøbing is even smaller. Barley is grown locally, malted on the distillery's own malt floor, and double-distilled in a closed circuit. What comes out the other end is some of Denmark's most genuinely local whisky.

Expert description

Ærø Single Cask No 1 First Release is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 61%, bottled at 50 cl and presented as a gift set with two whisky glasses. It is the first single cask release from Ærø Whisky A/S — the absolute debut of the distillery's single cask series. Ærø Whisky is a passionate micro-distillery located on Torvet 5 in Ærøskøbing, founded in 2013, producing whisky exclusively from local ingredients from Ærø. The barley is grown on local fields, malted on the distillery's own malt floor, and double-distilled in a closed circuit. The whisky is aged in oak casks — a combination of sherry casks and new oak. A single first-fill cask at 61% is a rare find from one of Denmark's most locally rooted distilleries.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich and complex with oak and a touch of sherry. Honey, vanilla and dark fruit from the maturation. A fresh, local malt base that shines through the concentration.

Palate

Powerful and full-bodied at 61%. Fruit, dried plum and caramel. The oak provides structure rather than dominating the flavour. Water opens floral notes and light spice.

Finish

Long and warm. Dark fruit and oak hold and gradually recede.
